The meeting held on 12 April at the Natural History Museum, London was a great success. There were three talks (Hissing Cockroaches in Madagascar by George Beccaloni; An Introduction to the BCG Website by Ed Baker; and Collecting Cockroaches in Borneo by Phil Bragg) plus a video of Adrian Durkin's recent TV appearance. 20 people attended the meeting and two new members were signed up, including Rachel, our youngest member, aged 9. The photo below shows some of the people who attended.
